[Individual]Sick pay (Feb-11-2011, 67 days left)

You must include the payment from your employee when you are sick or injured.


Where do you get the payment?

1. if you get payment from a 3rd party who is not your employer, you may choose to withhold your tax or not. Then you must fill out Form W-4S.

2. if you receive the payment under a collective bargaining agreement between your union and your employer, the withholding part depends on the provisions in the agreement.
